THE OUTEn0r

The outlook as regards crops, cattle,
ETC., IN this immediate vicinity. 50 far
as THE NEWS can learn by actual in
quiry with those supposed to be best
with the situation-the far
mers themselves-is much better than
could have been expected few weeks
ago. Then it looked a. If corn had
been about all burned up, with grass
and other pasturage in about the same
situation. But since then we have had
extremely heavy and soaking rains,
which have resulted in bringing out
some corn supposed to have been spOilt
beyond recall. while grass for pastur-
age has been put in probably as good,
if not better, condition as was ever
known in the history Of the
county. This last mentioned fact
has had q great deal to dc
with the more cheerful faces
we now see among our agriculturists
as the splendid pasturage viii, to q
great extent, cut down the quantity Of
anticipated winter feeding. The fact
is also now being asserted that corn has
not been near 80 total failure as wa
thought, and the farmers generally an
wearing more cheerful countenanct
than a short time ago.

In referring to the recent successful
experiments with sorghum at Fort
Scott, the Lawrence Journal says:
There is great rejoicing in Fort Scott,
and all Kansas may well rejoice with
her at what is regarded as a solution of
the problem of the economical produc-
ton of sugar from sorghum. 1t has
been demonstrated that sorghum con-
tains large percentage of sugar, and
the possibility of its extraction has been
abundantly demonstrated. But by any
of the methods heretofore attempted
the expense has been so great as to make
it impracticable. Now the Parkinson
works at Fort Scott, with the assist
ance of appropriations from the fed
eral government, and also the state,
are able to report successful results
Commissioner Coleman, under whose
directions the experiments in
the manufacture have been so sue
cessfully conducted, who is at present
on visit of inspection of the works,
in an interview reported in the Monitor
says: He had held for many years a
firm faith in the ultimate successful
manufacture of sugar from sorghum
cane. He had spent the afternoon out
at the sugar works and was delighted
with the results of the work done
CuCIC Gillo SCdSOn. I1O commenced the
wisdom of the people of Kansas in
supplementing the work Of the nation
al government with state bounty on
sorghum sugar, and regarded the ap-
preparation made by the last legislature
as one of the best investments ever
made by the state. In response to a
query as to whether he regarded the
results of the experiments at the
Parkinson works this year as sol
wing the problem as to the sue
cessful and profitable manufacture
of sugar from sorghum, Mr..
Coleman stated that he regarded the
problem as solved. He felt that the
yield obtained fully justified his faith
that sorghum sugar could be manufac-
tured with profit, and that Kansas
would become great sugar producing
section, and enter the markets in COM
petition with the southern cane pro-
ducts.
Should these results be verified by
continued success, there is opened up
to Kansas a field of wealth superior to
any yet discovered. Kansas has been
proven to be specially adapted to the
growth of sorghum, and with a method
for the economical extraction of sugar
from it, this would without doubt soon
become the most important and profita-
BILE industry in the state.

Professor shelton, of the Agricul-
tural College, advises Kansas farmers
to grow more wheat, and gives the fol-
lowing reasons why it would be profit
able to do so:
We wish right here to remark that
there has not been fall for three years,
at least so altogether favorable for the
wheat plant as the present. The
ground is full of water, which means
death to the abominable chintz bugs.
and much damage to the Hessian fly
where 1t abounds; it also insures a
strong fall growth of the young plants
which will enable them almost GER
tainly, to pass the winter without
the winter killing" which has done
so much damage in the last two or three

THE boom has commenced to go
laundering down the ages. AT Salina
suckers stand on the railroad platform
and endeavor to unload $500 OPP
tions for $50. at Abilene the other
day man was rustling around trying
to trade lot that cost him 500 for a
$40 buggy. Another was endeavoring
to sell house with So, 500 mortgage
on it for 500, buyer to assume mort
gage. At Clay Center they voted $780,
600 in bonds and subscribed $50, 900
more for terminal facilities and right
of-way to the Rock Island. The right
of-way costs $4,000 and the Rock
Island insists that they must whack
up. A portion of the $4,000 sub
scriptiOn is no good, and $50, 900 sub
scription to the new hotel is almost en-
tirely in the same state of health.
They can beat that Chicago widow,
but the Rock Island is different kind
of hair pin.-Junction City Union.

AS general thing tits not necessary
for newspaper to blow its own horn
very much as to it's circulation, as peo-
pie who are in the habit of patronizing
newspapers, as rule, are good observ-
ers and can form pretty fair idea OF
whether paper is universally read OF
not by various methods, chief among
which probably is whether it commends
itself to the observer as one that con-
tains all the latest news published at
the very earliest hour.
Thepaper that can fill this requisition
is bound to be the paper wherever pub
lished. This field is just the one THE
NEWS aspires to fill, and which it fat
tiers itself it is succeeding pretty fairly
in doing, judging by the fact that new
subscribers are pouring in every day.
This has been especially noticeable dur
ing the past week, on every day of
which we have entered from ten to
thirty new names.
This should be a matter of gratifica-
ton to everyone interested in the adj
vancement of EmpOria, as iC clearly
OhOhC I1eSD L1dJJClb cAlO hOJ hCdllJ Do
bad as has generally been thought, and
that the outlook is much better than
could have been considered possible a
few weeks ago. Indeed, we are in
formed by stock-raisers and farmers
generally that the late copious rains
have added materially to the wealth of
the county, as in pasturage alone it has
been worth thousands of dollars
already.
There ara circumstances that are
well worth consideration by the bust
ness man and merchant who hopes to
increase his sales with the increased de-
mands of the people.
To do this it is necessary to let the
people know what you have for sale
and where you may be found.
This can only be done effectively
through the medium of the newspaper,
and can be done best by that paper
which is most generally read by the
people.
That THE NEWS fills this bill in EN-
poria can be easily proven by little
observation, as it is essentially the
home paper, reaching the houses at
just that time of day when nearly all
of us have most leisure to read, and
when it will be thoroughly read by the
ladies of the household, who, as gen.
eral rule, do most of the purchasing.
and who, when they do not, always
have a word of advice as to purchases.
1t may be true that some merchants
may have a fair trade who do not adj
vertise, because they have been long in
business or because they have large
personal acquaintance, and that old
customers whom they obtained by ad.
vertising long ago may still find theil
store. But it is also true that those
who buy read the papers and note ev,
cry change of price in staple articles
1t is also true that they can tell JUS
what store to enter to obtain bargain.
in any line of goods needed. No better
proof of this is needed than to be one
of those who visit any one of the spe
cial sales advertised by one of ou
larger dry goods houses, and notice thu
jam and crowd as compared with othel
days.
MORAL: If you want to do gooC
business let the people know what you
have and where you keep it for sale
through the columns of THE NEWS.

THE secondhand editor of the En-
poria weekly Democrat accuses the edi-
tor of THE NEWS of fulsome praise of
Cleveland, and also of having threat
ened at one time to march against
Cleveland with the G. A. R.
He is as correct in one instance as in
the other, as we have neither INDUCED
in fulsOme praise or threatened to
march against Cleveland. We have
simply found fault with the president
when we thought he was wrong as re-
CARDS the rebel flag order, and defend
ed him as against wanton attacks when
he was in the right. The Democrat is
evidently afraid THE News may de-
priye it of what little wind it is now
able to catch in its sails, and possibly
leave it stranded with other ''lOng felt
wants" The Democrat man accuses
us of being influenced editorially by an
eleven dollar a week situation. Well,
there is consolation in the thought
that the Democrat man is not likely to
be Influenced in any such manner, and
that should he be so influenced his
briber will be cheated.

THE Knights of Labor organizations
in Chicago have assumed a great re-
sponsibility, and one that will damage
them before the public. They have
agreed to stand by the condemned an
archists, giving them both moral and
financial support. Only one of the
number-Parsons-is a member of the
Knights of Labor and the Knights have
not the excuse for their conduct that
they are helping their own. Their es-
pousal of the cause of the anarchists
seems unfortunate for the Knights. 1t
will not make them friends, but gives
them friendly connections with cause
that is doomed in this country. The
people edo not intend to tolerate social
ism, and those who support the social
lists will pass under the condemnation
of the popular will. The Knights will
learn, but too late, that they should
have stood aloof from the condemned
anarchist SIX. C.. Star.

SENATOR FRYE of Maine has re-
turned from y five months tour in Eu-
rope, impressed with the conviction
that war in that part of the world is
not far distant. Peace is now preserved
by the aged Emperor William, who is
absolute with the German army, but
trouble is likely to break out upon his
death. Bismarck is strong politically,
but is powerless with the army. The
only way to avoid war. in Mr.. Frye's
upinion is to disband the armies, and
that is impossible to do, and so war
must come sooner or later, OF when
there is convenient pretext.

THE Kansas CITY journal i'm a

The Kansas City journal III an edi-
torial of yesterday says:
The grammarian of the New York
Sun is deeply Disguised with President
Cleveland, because the latter recently
made use of the expression, ''centen-
NAL anniversary. The Sun says that
ito say centennial anniversary is to be
guilty of gross pleOnasm. 1t is, in fact,
saying the hundredth year return of
the day. A centennial celebration is
necessarily on an anniversary. Cen
tenary is all right; centennial alone is
sufficient; but centennial anniversary
"a president of the United States,
who can deliberately put that express
sion on paper, almost deserves i'm
parchment" We are inclined to think
the Sun a little bit too critical.
1t will now be in order for the EN-
poria Republican and the Emporia
Democrat to say that the journal is in
clined to be mugwumpish or has turned
democratic.
